Talk:Taranna

tanina tanaina -shown (from tana -show)

Shire is the English name of the region. A Quenya word for it is not known, but in Sindarin, it is i Drann, which sounds fairly different. I think that we should regard a transcription from Sindarin rather than from English, but I don't know the transcription rules. Bellenion to the rescue :) Iron gollum 13:19, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't know the transcription rules either! Last Waterbender 13:46, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, but wasn't it agreed earlier that Tolkien-invented names don't need to be transcribed? Last Waterbender 13:59, June 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I remember there was something... Can you remind me of the context where we met this decision? Iron gollum 20:04, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * There was a thread on Elfling discussing about the Shire in Quenya, and I have adopted taranna. Pls check the list of Neologisms or Elfling 15028.--Bellenion 02:10, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I guess that's convincing enough. Iron gollum 07:09, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

I'm deciding between fornúmen and fordúnë for northwest. Which one is better? Or do you have better ideas? Last Waterbender 11:58, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * How do you derive fordúnë? Actually, if these two are synonyms, it does not matter very much. I would prefer fornúmen, but who says that a language must have only one word for one term? Iron gollum 12:45, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fordúnë is derived from formen and andúnë. But actually, I myself prefer fornúmen over fordúnë too. Last Waterbender 13:35, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

fornúmen (n. / adj.) northwest
